            now as long as we just keep adding on new fees and algorithms to decide the fees and systems to control the algorithms and pay 800,000 technicians around the world to keep it all in check forever… The System Works™️!

              We’re realy getting to the point where the inherant ridiculousness of infinite growth is getting harder and harder to hide.

                Capitalist is like one of those childhood games where 2 kids pretend to have superpowers and they keep coming up with new OP moves like “Unbreakable titanium shield!” and “Titanium-melting lava bolt!” and then “Super-lava-resistant invisible forcefield!” each to one-up the last one, except they never stop, we’re all beholden to it, and the game decides our paychecks

                  the game is causing a mass extinction event and destroying human civilization, too

                  I really think we should fuckin stop them already
